Customizing the Create... left menu in OBIEE 12c Answers

Gaétan Francoeur

Hi,

We don't want user to see all the options in the "Create..." left menu in Answers.

Is there a way to remove or hide some with some administration rights? Or do we have necessarily to modify some css files?

Thanks,

You mean this?

All based on privileges. If you don't have the right to create Actions then it will not be rendered.

Gaétan Francoeur

Yes, exactly.

So as I said above: "All based on privileges. If you don't have the right to create Actions then it will not be rendered."

Gaétan Francoeur

Yes, I understand, but we've been asked to remove or hide it.

"Is there a way to remove or hide some with some administration rights?"

^--- Your original question. And that is controlled by the privileges granted to each user through application roles or directly.

So what is your *REAL* question then? How to get rid of that whole left-hand-side menu?

Gaétan Francoeur

We would like to remove these ones :

You can remove all of those via privileges apart from VA. Even if the privilege is revoked it's rendered. At least in 12.2.1.2 - haven't checked in 12.2.1.3 yet.

Ok, thanks, I guess we'll have to find a way to modify the underlying css file :-( to hide those ones.

[Deleted User]

As  I said it may be ok in 12.2.1.3. Maybe @Gianni Ceresa has tried?

Gianni Ceresa

Sorry didn't try that ...
